Chapter 303: Permission Granted

"Anna wants to return to the mansion?" 

King Kyden arched an eyebrow as he listened to the news shared by his wife, Queen Emelda. The monarchs were enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea in the grand parlour of the king's court.

"That's what she told me. She mentioned it would only be for several days, and she plans to go once Rafe Amares returns, which is next week," replied the queen.

"Rafe is not here?" the king inquired again, his curiosity piqued.

"No, he went back to his hometown, Rivendelle. Anna explained that he wanted to introduce his new wife to his family. And surprisingly, Prince Kiev decided to join them," Queen Emelda responded.

"Hmm... I guess lunch will have to wait then," King Kyden replied with a smirk, diverting the conversation.

"Lunch?" Queen Emelda raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
